Trying to understand the events involved for a Router to get recognized with a WAN IP address thru a Modem. This is with a CATV ISP (Spectrum/TWC if that matters)
Flashing the firmware, or any activity that requires disconnection of the link between the Modem & the Router.
Modem & Router on line,
WAN cable disconnected from Modem to flash Router,
After flash, WAN cable reconnected, connectyion to Modem shows active via LED indicators on both devices,
PC can access Routers web interface ok, and clinest get populated ok also (they have static IP address set within the devices),
Router does not have a WAN address, any Gateway or any DNS address from the ISP yet.
The "DHCP Release & Renew" function in the Router isn't that suppose to solve this without rebooting the Modem?
